Nuclear Archaeology for Gaseous Diffusion Enrichment Plants
The field of nuclear archaeology aims to develop the methods and tools to verify past production of fissile materials for military purposes, which may become necessary to support the verification of future arms control agreements that envision deeper cuts in the nuclear arsenals. Techniques have been successfully demonstrated for reconstructing historic plutonium production, especially in graph...
متن کاملComputational Analysis of Signatures of Highly Enriched Uranium Produced by Centrifuge and Gaseous Diffusion
Different enrichment processes have been used historically to produce highly enriched uranium (HEU) for weapon purposes. The most relevant ones are the gaseous diffusion process and the gas centrifuge. The two exploit different physical principles to separate isotopes of different molecular weight. It could therefore be expected that HEU might carry an isotopic signature that is unique to the e...
متن کاملIdentification of suspected hazardous chemical contaminants in recycled pastry packaging.
BACKGROUND The safe use of recycled paper and cardboard material for food packaging applications is an important area of investigation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine which hazardous chemi- cal pollutants were found in paper and cardboard samples used for pastry packaging, and to measure the migration of pollutants over time into the pastries. METHODS In this study, the...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to trichloroethylene and cancer risk for workers at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.
OBJECTIVE The Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) became operational in 1952; it is located in the western part of Kentucky. We conducted a mortality study for adverse health effects that workers may have suffered while working at the plant, including exposures to chemicals. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied a cohort of 6820 workers at the PGDP for the period 1953 to 2003; there were a tota...
